Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Dog Sheepdog / Mixed (medium coat). Prince has been hanging out in a foster home with some friends and their resident dog Maggie (also a Shelter alum)! Princeâs foster parent reports: âHe is doing SO well. We have been having so much fun, and he and Maggie have been getting along great. He has been doing really well overall. He is a quick learner but definitely thrives with lots of positive reinforcement and reassurance. On a fun note, he's also become a great jogging partner! At first, he didn't quite get the idea, but now he loves it. We've been having so much fun together. He has the biggest heart and is an amazing dog. I hope he finds the perfect forever home soon!â Prince would thrive in a home with another dog friend as it helps him feel safer navigating the world. If you and your resident pup are looking for a canine companion - consider setting up a meet 'n greet with Prince today! This animalâs adoption fee is sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation thanks to âLeave No One Behind fundâ â a fund that draws adopterâs eyes towards animals who have been in the Shelterâs care a little longer than average waiting for the right adopter to call their best friend. Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

Breed overview

Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
